Live Show Mixing & Mastering
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
My act, “projeckterband,” is gearing up for an upcoming live performance and I want every track that hits the PA to sound studio-polished and impact-ready. All raw multitrack stems are already recorded; what I need now is a seasoned engineer who can transform those sessions into cohesive, punchy mixes and then master them so they translate flawlessly in a live environment as well as on any post-show release.
I’ll share 24-bit WAV stems, tempo maps and a couple of reference songs that capture the vibe I’m after. Your task is to balance, EQ, compress and enhance each song, then deliver a loud yet dynamic master that sits comfortably between −14 LUFS and −8 LUFS, free of clipping, with enough headroom to adapt to different venue systems. All work should be done in a professional DAW of your choice—Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase or Ableton are all fine as long as you can supply both mastered stereo WAV files and consolidated mix stems.
Deliverables will be:
• Final mastered stereo WAV files for every song
• Individual mix stems (drums, bass, guitars, keys, vocals, FX) bounced from bar 1 with identical length for easy playback alignment
• A brief rundown of the plug-ins or hardware inserted on the master bus so I can match levels if any last-minute tweak is needed at sound-check
Once I approve the first song, we’ll move straight through the remaining tracks. Quick, clear communication and the ability to turn revisions around within 48 hours will keep the project moving smoothly.
